Three issues from a Subversion-to-git migration

I joined the git list a few hours ago because of experiences I had
while migrating one of my projects, GPSD, from Subversion to git.
GPSD haa a logical but unusual use case for distributed version
control; the best places to test GPS sensors are out-of-doors in cars
and other places where wire-line Internet is absent and one may well
be out of range of a WAP.

In the course of the migration, I encountered three issues which I
think could be addressed with a relatively small amount of work.

1. The git hook scripts for CIA.vc are broken (in a way that is,
fortunately, easy to fix) and generally seem to be in an unmaintained,
dusty state.

2. The git-svn migration logic does not handle unmodified SVN tag
trees well.

3. I'm prone to typos, so I quickly noticed that the existing
facilities for editing comments in commits (before they're pushed)
are clumsy and dangerous.

I will address these points in detail in separate mails.  Issues 1 and
3 I can fix with working code.
